how to store Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Store wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. Do not store for too long if you used fresh spinach, as it can get soggy.

tips to make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

  • Use warm chicken for best melting and flavor.
  • Pat spinach dry so the filling does not get watery.
  • Spread the cream cheese well to bind the filling.
  • Grill the wrapped tortillas on medium heat to get a crisp outside without burning.
  • For a spicy twist, mix a little hot sauce into the chicken mix. If you like more heat ideas, try the cheesy creamy buffalo chicken dip for inspiration.

variation (if any)

  • Swap cheddar for pepper jack for heat.
  • Use flour tortillas or whole wheat instead of low-carb wraps.
  • Add cooked bacon or jalapeños for extra flavor.
  • Turn the filling into a salad by skipping the tortillas.
